Rationalizations from the left regarding taxes

One of the popular criticisms of the Tea Party is that taxes are at historical lows, so, they think, the Tea Party's main complaint is bogus. Well, that is you don't count business taxes, dividends, capital gains -- and you don't count the new healthcare taxes.

American businesses are hampered competively by taxes which are extraordinarily high among industrialized nations. This hurts everyone, and it helps keep unemployment high. Now, the administration wants to increase taxes on those making over $200,000 -- plus increase energy costs through energy legislation. The adminsitration has also admitted the healthcare mandate is a tax.

The left's narrative is being challenged and disputed at every turn, yet they continue with talking points as if the facts don't exist.
